MARS ATTACKS!!! Base set wanted!
- Thread starter XD23
- Start date
got a few sets here.. i'm probably one of the biggest mars attacks fans around this neck of the woods.
I went for the 1st day issues, think i cleaned out every loose pack that was left in them days.
my bestest card is a psa8 of the checklist from the original series.
I have a fascination for checklists too so that one was essential but haven't gone for any other original cards, just too much
for decent condition cards.
but yeah, i do have '94 sets $30 and a 1st day set $400
also there's the super winner redemption card and the zina auto but i don't have spare.

ill take a $30 set for sure!a good '62 set goes for about $10,000 and up from there if there graded very high, key cards in the series are
almost impossible to find sharp and centred.
there was a reprint set brought out in the 80's, even a spanish set.
the '94 set is also a reprint of the original set of 55 cards plus the 13 cards that were banned in the 60's, it caused an uproar at the time as the images were too gruesome for that time, it's a 100 card set.
Zina Saunders did the '94 set artwork for the rest of the cards, her dad was the original mars attacks artist,
so was quite nice that topps gave her the project.
so yeah, the first 55 cards in the 94 set are exactly the same.
there was a movie set aswell that came out when the movie did, but it's a wide vision set and nothing like original.
yeah Tim Burton rocked up to a hobby shop one day and saw the cards on display, he loved the pictures and decided to turn the series into a movie, it was the first and only movie based on a card set, not the other way round as it always is.
the $450 BIN set is great if you just want an original set but the cards are very poor, a different kettle of fish altogether.

I also have the reprint sets which is actually a 56 card set, #56 is the wrapper card.
$20 with a '94 set
